The other…LV Nilesh, a 1991 batch Maharashtra cadre IAS, was on unauthorized leave from June 2001. A post graduate in computer science before getting into IAS, Nilesh was on study leave between 1991 and 2001. But he had never joined the service, according to records available with DoPT.
Finally on July 12, 2012, the government notified that Nilesh is “deemed to have resigned from IAS” and sent the notification to the manager, Government of India press for publication.
